In Popular Culture
The Quaker figure who adorns Quaker Oats' products packaging has been anonymously referred to as "the guy on the oatmeal box" in various episodes of Nickelodeon/Klasky-Csupo's Rugrats, in reference to one of Chuckie Finster's multifarious childhood phobias. Specifically, Chuckie finds the man's hat to be scary.
